Additional Terms of the Notes

          The Initial Interest Rate for the Medium-Term Notes offered by this 
pricing supplement will be equal to LIBOR determined on October 5, 1998.

Plan of Distribution

          Under the terms of and subject to the conditions of a terms 
agreement under the First Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement dated 
September 3, 1998 between TMCC and Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, 
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. 
Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley") 
and Salomon Smith Barney Inc (the "Agreement"), Morgan Stanley, acting as 
principal, has agreed to purchase and TMCC has agreed to sell the Notes at 
100.00% of their principal amount.  Morgan Stanley may resell the Notes to one 
or more investors or to one or more broker-dealers (acting as principal for 
the purposes of resale) at varying prices related to prevailing market prices 
at the time of resale, as determined by Morgan Stanley. 

          Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Morgan Stanley is 
committed to take and pay for all of the Notes offered hereby if any are 
taken.

Additional Information

          TMCC's long-term debt is currently rated AAA by Standard & Poor's 
Rating Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("Standard & 
Poor's").  In a press release dated September 29, 1998, Standard & Poor's 
announced that it had placed the AAA rating of Toyota Motor Corporation 
("TMC"), the ultimate parent of TMCC, on CreditWatch with negative 
implications.  If TMC's credit rating is lowered by Standard & Poor's, the 
credit rating of TMCC, including the credit rating of Notes covered by this 
Pricing Supplement, would likely be lowered to the same extent.
